Chapter 958: Xiao Chong Extra Story 32_3
Everything was fresh and exciting to Lin Wanwan, since she had never tried any of it before.
At first, she was careful about the Jade Bracelet on her hand, but as she started playing, she got carried away and forgot about it.
Hong Kong Island’s weather in August was hot, but Xiao Chong had prepared medical ice packs, mini electric fans, and wide sun umbrellas, making the long day surprisingly bearable.
Initially, while walking in the priority lane and watching the crowded queue beside them, Lin Wanwan thought she was following a rogue guide cutting in line.
Though she hadn’t been to amusement parks, she had seen trending topics. It was said that sometimes, these rogue guides’ so-called priority lanes were actually about cutting in line.
You take care of cutting in, and he handles the shouting match with the cut-in crowd.
Thinking about this, her embarrassment skyrocketed. Imagining herself, Lin Wanwan felt she would rather wait in line forever than cut in under everyone’s watch.
In the end, she quietly shared her concerns with Xiao Chong, making him laugh heartily.
Walking beside a long queue and taking the priority lane was enough to attract envy; his joyful laughter added fuel to the fire, attracting countless dagger-like looks.
If it weren’t for his stunning looks under the baseball cap, he could’ve collected circles of resentment.
After watching the fireworks show, Lin Wanwan happily walked hand in hand with Xiao Chong.
She looked up and asked him, "Are you going to stay at the art exhibition the whole time?"
Xiao Chong replied, "No, just going for the morning tomorrow; after that, I don’t need to be present. Even if someone likes a painting, they’ll contact my agent."
"I didn’t know artists have agents."
After speaking, Lin Wanwan marveled, "You’re incredible. I’m really curious how you manage it all; even if someone started learning in the womb, they wouldn’t know as much as you do."
Xiao Chong chuckled, "Maybe I started learning in a past life."
"That sounds plausible," Lin Wanwan looked at Xiao Chong, always feeling his words were half-true and somewhat mysterious.
Xiao Chong ruffled her hair, laughing, "Don’t overthink it. Come on, let’s go get you some clothes."
Lin Wanwan pushed his hand away, tidying her hair and muttered, "Why buy clothes? I don’t need them."
Xiao Chong laughed, "As the saying goes, ’A woman dresses for those who delight in her.’ Wanwan, you’re not single anymore."
Lin Wanwan looked at her clothes: a simple white t-shirt and black silk pants, convenient and comfortable; what’s wrong with that?
She hadn’t bought many clothes because they didn’t seem important; as long as they were wearable, it was fine.
But since Xiao Chong insisted, she’d go along with it.
They took a car to Tsim Sha Tsui and bought a pile of clothes, shoes, and bags. Almost everything Lin Wanwan showed a slight interest in, Xiao Chong packed up immediately after a quick try.
"That’s too much. I don’t want to try anymore." This was the most frequent sentence Lin Wanwan uttered that evening.
And Xiao Chong always coaxed her into the fitting room, claiming every outfit looked good, leading to continuous buying and card swiping, making Lin Wanwan nervous.
Eventually, Lin Wanwan was unwilling to enter more shops. Usually indifferent to brands, she was forced to learn a lot today.
Some clothes’ prices were unimaginably high, reaching a point where she’d have to work hard for a month to afford one.
By the time they returned to the villa, it was nearly 10 p.m., coincidentally when Lu Shouyue returned.
So they all happily gathered on the third-floor terrace for a night snack.
The villa was surrounded by mountains on three sides, offering extremely expansive views and a stunning sea view.
Xiao Chong glanced around and said, "This house has great feng shui, shaped to accumulate energy from surrounding mountains. Your ancestors had vision."
Lu Shouyue took a sip and laughed, "You study feng shui too?"
Xiao Chong casually said, "I know a bit."
This time, he really only knew a bit, not having delved into it; just a side effect of studying astronomy and geography.
Back then, generals required skills in astronomy and geography for leading troops.
Xiao Chong and Lu Shouyue chatted away about everything, while Lin Wanwan focused on eating.
The seafood was incredibly delicious; Lin Wanwan loved it.
Especially with three servants standing by to shell the seafood for them, she didn’t have to dirty her hands, just comfortably enjoyed the feast. It was heavenly!
Despite being foodies, Xiao Chong and Lu Shouyue ended up amazed by Lin Wanwan’s eating this evening. Seeing her enjoy herself so much inexplicably uplifted their spirits.
"Your sister-in-law has a good appetite," Lu Shouyue chuckled light-heartedly.
Xiao Chong gazed at Lin Wanwan fondly, "She loves seafood the most."
Raising her head from her bowl, Lin Wanwan looked at them, "You two chat away; why suddenly talk about me?"
Lu Shouyue grinned, "Sister-in-law, you’d make a perfect eating broadcast host. People watching you eat seafood might just eat more themselves."
Lin Wanwan was embarrassed; was this a compliment or a tease?
Lu Shouyue turned to Xiao Chong again and asked, "What’s your plan for dinner tomorrow? If you’re free, how about I take you to taste Hong Kong Island’s special delicacies?"
Xiao Chong asked Lin Wanwan, "Wanwan, what do you think?"
Lin Wanwan nodded, "I have no objections; you guys decide."
She looked at Xiao Chong and then at Lu Shouyue, unable to resist saying, "Are you two long-lost brothers? I notice you not only look a bit alike but also share similar tastes."
Xiao Chong and Lu Shouyue exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.
Their infectious laughter soon got to Lin Wanwan, and the three of them laughed like fools on the terrace.
